Hey! I'm a huge fan of tournament arcs in anime or tournament animes! Please tell me some tournament animes you know so I can add to my list! :D Any anime is welcome here. Well known or not so well known, it's fine! I love tournaments such as fighting tournaments or card duel tournaments or monster taming tournaments. Thanks! :D

Girls & Panzer
Saki
Chihayafuru
Walkure Romanze

Tbh Walkure isn't near as good as the first three but whatev :)

A couple music ones where they don't directly compete against other schools but rather perform before judges who determine winners:

Kono Oto Tomare
Hibike! Euphonium

Both of those I'd say it's more about the drama than the competitions.

What you seem to be looking for:

Kami no Tou
Bofuri


Bonus:

Mo Dao Zu Shi (Chinese donghua, but has Japanese dub if you can't stand watching in Mandarin Chinese. Though to be fair, only two of the three seasons have a Japanese dub. The final season is only available in Mandarin. And the tournament arc is fairly short. But the series itself is amazing. And the story is complete at three seasons)
Yi Nian Yong Heng (Chinese donghua. Only available in Mandarin Chinese)

And, Misc. (which seems to be mostly sports, but not all):

Aoharu x Kikanjuu
Ryman's Club
Bakuten
Prince of Tennis
Gakuen Alice
Initial D
Cross Game
Over Drive
Tsurune
Yume-iro Patissiere
Chihayafuru
Ballroom e Youkoso
Baby Steps

Bonus:
Quanzhi Gaoshou (Chinese donghua. Gaming tournament. I believe it's only available in Mandarin)

https://myanimelist.net/anime/28171/Shokugeki_no_Souma is basically all tournaments
https://myanimelist.net/anime/12431/Uchuu_Kyoudai . The selection process is more or less isomorphic to a series of tournaments
https://myanimelist.net/anime/32995/Yuri_on_Ice mostly consists of tournaments
https://myanimelist.net/anime/40221/Kami_no_Tou . Tower of God. Some floors are like tournaments.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/31646/3-gatsu_no_Lion . sort of a tournament in slow motion. The shogi games kind of take a back stage to the drama. Very good but maybe not what you want.
